broadband in Blackrock/Booterstown

scaryfairy

Hi,

just moved to this area and am trying to get broadband + phone, possibly with TV. NTL/UPC can only offer telly+broadband, or else could get one of the Eircom packages but find them quite expensive. I think the vodafone option is out, too. Does someone live in this area with broadband? I can live with 1mb, too, don't really need anything fancy.

many thanks.

What exchange are you on? I'm in Stillorgan on the Priory Exchange, basic Phone + 1Mb package from BT. (€39pm?) No noticeable contention on the line - getting downloads of 104KBps, pretty consistent. The occasional disconnect, but not at all bad and quite adequate for my requirements

hi

many thanks - I have no idea which exchange I am on, but might be on the same as you: the place where I live is just off Stillorgan road, behind the Radisson hotel. I've just had my phone reconnected with eircom, but on the phone I was told that the cheapest I can get with eircom is 45euro for phone + broadband - ok, not going to break the bank but would prefer something cheaper.
btw, how can I find out which exchange I am on?
thanks again

Belfield Park? Merrion Woods? UPC triple play is definitely available in Merrion Woods and I can't imagine it's not in Belfield Park.

Seamount. yes, UPC can do broadband + TV, but not landline. I think I might go with UPC broadband + eircom landline, have to give them a ring again.
thanks for the advice.

I'd definitely check with UPC again. If they do phone in Merrion Woods I can't see them not doing it in Seamount. It's basically the same development.

You pay for what you get. If you pay less, you'll get either worse service or worse support or both. And UPC are know for very poor support.

any resolution/decision on this?

don't know what's going on: was told by ntl that they cannot provide landline where I live. I mean she did double check the block where I live - could it be that block x has ntl landline but block y doesn't??? anyway, I have sort of ordered eircom broadband (got landline 2 days ago). We placed the order online but didn't get a confirmation so have to call and see whether it's been placed.
thanks for all the info
cheers
